There are many risks associated with lumbar disc interventions, including the risks of the procedure itself such as nerve or blood vessel damage and the risk of recurrence of the procedure. Although there are risks, they can be effectively controlled in regular hospitals.
1. Risks of the surgery itself: the intervention can not directly see the nerves or blood vessels, which may lead to their damage, resulting in reduced sensation in one or both lower limbs and the risk of bleeding; if the patient suffers from hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc., the risk of cardiovascular and cerebral vascular accidents may increase after anesthesia.
2. Risk of recurrence: after surgery, depending on the patient’s condition, there is also a risk of wound infection and improper healing; if the nucleus pulposus is not removed completely, the herniated lumbar disc will also recur.
Lumbar disc herniation intervention is relatively mature, so patients do not need to worry too much, but it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to give the corresponding treatment and processing.
